ebay.de und billiger.de?

Wieso, Weshalb, Warum hat mein Browser vorhin ganz kurz billiger.de angezeigt als ich ebay.de aufgerufen hab?
Gehören die irgendwie zusammen?
DNS? Verschwörung? Fehler? Inder? Matrix?

Assassin's Creed 2 ...

Remember me ranting about ideas on how to improve DRM schemes? Seems Ubisoft had the same idea I had for Assassin's Creed 2. It's taken the pirates a month to get a cracked version working, and they've shipping their crack with a database file full of replies the drm servers give to specific enquiries by the game. The rest is, also as predicted, a local server emulation and edits to the hosts file to forward the game's requests to the emu server.
Funnily enough the people responsible for the crack are now updating their database file every now and then to further improve the performance of the cracked game and minimise in-game errors.
